The following trademark applications by Hasbro have had their status updated by the USTPO.THRUST (75911531) - This mark has now been registered. The registration number is 2470598. Its taken over 6 years since the initial application was submitted though.
SOUNDWAVE (75911534) - This mark has also been registered after a 6 month application period.
MEISTER (76596261) - This application has been granted an extension so that Hasbro can file a 'statement of first use'. This is simply to prove that they have used the mark and are not just requesing applications to stop other companies from using it.
HARDTOP (76612291) - The application for the mark HARDTOP has been updated with a note saying that that the paper has been received. This is in reply to the USPTO issuing a a Notice of Allowance.
You an view the full details of these and more trademark applications in our
Transformer Trademark area.
Update: - It seems that certain TransFans out there do not believe us when we say that these trademarks have taken 6 years to become registered and that we meant 6 months. Well, I'm sorry to tell you it was no mistake. If you don't believe us, then look at our Trademark section, read the history for yourself. All of the information in that area has come directly from the USPTO records. Check it on their site or at one of their offices, you'll see its correct.

Yesterday some leaked designs of Megatron from next years
Transformers film appeared on various Transformers websites. Now Brian Goldner has spoken out, via
Don Murphy's Message Board, regarding the images.
Good Afternoon--Let me answer your questions. Starscream is simply
the coolest, most aggressive military jet in the skies. The military
has given us unprecedented access to deliver this character to the
audience in the most compelling way. He is Very much like G1. As noted
to Nelson earlier in the week, the details, deco, weapons, and sculpt
itself will change as we move from grey model to final form.
Megatron is an early style board. Without revealing too much of the
story, there is a very important reason for his look to have evolved
from pure G1; although the final look is a work-in-progress--ILM has
just recently begun all their CGI development. Megatron has a iconic
personality, and approach that dates back to G1. Throughout time he has
had a very big gun.... Thanks to
Seibertron for pointing out the comments.
UPDATE:
He posted a second message later on:
How do I say this--You guys say you want to see robots NOW, and then, when you see early work-in-progress, you flip out!!!
Let me try to frame where we are headed with TRANSFORMERS, and draw
some analogies...you loved G1 the first time you saw it ( and every
time since), and so did we...It told a NEW story of sentient beings
that have human-like characters, and yet, there is so much more to them
than what's on the surface...they transform from recognizable objects
to unimaginable robots. They have their own history, and rivalries that
we witness, and get swept up in... We all owe it to the next
generations of folks to use the technology, storytelling, and access
(to real contemporary vehicles/military) that TRANSFORMERS provides to
drive this forward...your input in very important as it helps to shape
the delivery of TRANFORMERS as a LIVE-ACTION movie. We will show you
robots, when they are right....they will be PHOTO-REALISTIC. In fact,
this movie could have never been produced much before today....this is
worth the effort.
We need to tell an origin story because not everyone is as versed as
you in the history....we need to explain elements of the TRANSFORMERS
that can be glossed over in animation...there are logic gaps that do
need to make sense when a broad global audience buys a ticket and wants
to enjoy the show as much as you will...we continue to make progress.
Starcream is a complex character. He is loyal, and yet ready to mutiny
all at the same time. He is two-faced and duplicitious...his character
will be played out in his design...as he evolves he is looking very
cool....
Megatron too is a very important link from past (G1) to present...there
are major story elements that will come to light as you watch the film
that make his evolving design ring true...of course, he has always had
big guns...just wait to see what we have done here....again,
LIVE-ACTION....
The comments and jokes about leaving the boards are unjustified...there
has never been a group of producers, writiers, and studio executives
more engaged in this project, and for that reason not always attached
to these boards.

TVShowsonDVD.com have a report that Rhino will finally release the 2nd part of Transformers: Armada on DVD. If like us you own the first half of the series you will be pleased with the news, and wonder why it's taken almost 2 years.
Thanks to TFormers for the spot.
